Hi, both desktop and laptop if possible. Sorry, because I am having computer issues, spell check is a work in progress. My thinkpad still says IBM so laughs. while I have an amazing DOS USB driver, the issues where the adapters are concerned makes this far far far from optional. I might run freedos instead. www.freedos.org Which can support more recent hardware. I trust my dos 7.1 install though. Kare On Tue, 1 Aug 2023, D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk wrote:
Do you want a desktop computer or a laptop?
By "Yamaha ThinkPad", I think you meant "Lenovo ThinkPad". All ThinkPads are notebooks (or tablets). So I'll assume that you are looking for a notebook.
Are you requiring it to run MSDOS?
I think that it has been a long long time since notebooks had parallel ports. Is a USB-to-parallel dongle OK?
I guess that a USB-to-serial dongle would be OK.
Do you need both of these interfaces for your Kurzweil? Or is there some other device that is adding to the requirements?
